THE NAIVE SAILOR, LOW SULPHUR FUELS-- CAPT AJIT VADAKAYIL

It is amazing how we fall into the same hole again and again and again, at sea.

It is because of the attitude of the shore powers.

When there is an accident at sea TRUTH IS ALWAYS THE FIRST CASUALITY

You find the truth is buried instantly by people who want to protect their backsides and people who want to collect insurance and laugh all the way to the bank.

As a result of which , shore powers put a lot of importance to near misses, so that the jokers can write nice circulars and shine. This as as stupid as writing volumes about fishing boats in the ship's wake.

At sea on the bridge we care only about fishing boats ahead of ship. We like to be PRO-ACTIVE and deal with hazards which have NOT yet happened. We like to talk about coming shadows.

But the jokers ashore don't want this on SMS reporting records, for if the shadow indeed does its evil deed, they stand to lose their honourable chairs.

They will even give you fancy ROOT CAUSE analysis tools, where as soon as the blame comes on the sailor's incompetence or negligence , it stops . And then the poor sailor is victimised.

So why did the third mate have a collision?

The root cause arrives by the RCA software says he slept on the bridge , which is a crime, and the third mate did NOT follow watch keeping company orders as per the manual.

You sailors must take this further.

Here is a true case , of an European Third mate, who sailed with me.

Why did the third mate fall asleep?---He could NOT sleep in his rest hours.

Why could he not sleep?-- Because he was very worried

Why was he worried ?-- Because his best friend told him that his wife was seen in a pick up bar.

Why was his wife --? --because her husband has NOT send his salary allotment for past 3 months.

Why did the allotment --- ? --because the company did not remit the allotment.

Why did the company---? --because the owners did not send the funds despite 10 reminders.

SO THE ROOT CAUSE IS -- THE RICH OWNERS DID NOT SEND FUNDS.

These are the same rich owners who try to skim 10 Dollars off you. You take a flight, the airhostess will wait on you. After the plane lands, she heads off to a swank 5 star hotel and you go to a cheap sleazy motel.

The shore powers would like to give you a safety belt to be tied around your waist. As soon as you fall off from a height you will break your spine --100%. Who cares?

It is upon the sailor to demand for a safety harness which supports you at the crotch, so that you don't break your spine. Be aware. You owe it to yourself.

A lot of boiler explosions and Generator trips at sea go unreported. The company does NOT want this on the records. You try to put a SMS report about a AE trip while picking up pilot , and immediately you will get victimised.

Conrods of AE have been busting for a hundred years-- who cares?

Has anybody found the root cause for prevention? Don't give bullshit cures like changing the bolts and tightening after so many hours blah blah--

Here are a few LOW SULPHUR thoughts--

Understand it and be safe!

I will paste a few actual emails-- glean from it !

dear XXX,

LSGO precautions taken with immediate effect are:--

till procedures are streamlined --

1) restarting a tripped boiler furnace on LSGO -- can be done
only under personal on the spot supervision of chengr or 2nd engr.
check must be done for unburnt fuel red hotpile directly under
overhead nozzle.

2) conversion of AE fuel from heated HO to no heat LSGO
and vice versa can be done only on the spot supervision of
Chengr or 2nd Engr. mark the inlet /outlet ho/ go valves

3) LSGO tanks must NOT be heated by adjacent heat from
HO tanks. we do NOT have coolers for LSGO. this will
prevent gasification of pipelines , leakage past plunger and
barrel and dribbling nozzles.

note:

1)all 3 DO tanks are adjacent to HO tanks, with NO
COOLING ARRANGEMENT. flash point can de reduced
below critical point -- rendering it unsuitable for marine
4 stroke engine / boiler use.

2) maybe steam tracers can be converted to coolers?

3) there are good lubrication additives in the market
suitable for low sulphur LSGO to reduce 4 stroke engine
plunger barrel friction and self destruction.

gentlemen,

all that is required when changing over from HSHO to LSHO
is for some PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING COMPETENCE--

there is no need to change all hardware-- as all boiler manufacturers

will trip over each other , to tell you -- after all it is heavy money--

LSHO sometimes is sometimes mixed gas oil passed off as heavy
oil-- all ports/ places do not have DESULPHURISING PLANTS
-- which is a complicated process.

NEXT TIME A CHIEF ENGINEER COMES TO XXXX OFFICE

FOR BRIEFING --ASK HIM WHAT VISCOSITY OF HO DOES HE

FEED THE BOILER BURNER WITH -- BE PREPARED TO GET

SHOCKED OUT OF YOUR SEATS -- FITTER TYPES DON'T KNOW

THAT 13 CST VISCOSITY WHICH IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR A

MAIN ENGINE INJECTOR , IS TOO LOW FOR THE BOILER BURNER --

you cant take 380 cst of LSHO from the service tank ( it will be
at 85 deg C ) . dischg temp from purifier is approx 94 deg C ,
and can be controlled by throttling steam to a little extent.

it is BEST to circulate oil back into tank and NOT back into
the suction side of pump. it it MUST be done , a mixing
tube must be ideally installed to secure proper venting on the
HO system. when HO is heated gases are released and if
they are NOT vented, they remain in the piping system--
causing UNSTABLE FLAME / COMBUSTION. boiler

manufacturers do NOT cover damage to oil pumps caused
by dry running ( insufficient venting ) as a guarantee defect.

i wonder if any of you has had a fantastic boiler furnace
explosion in their lives at sea.

i have had it.

boiler ACC does NOT understand the FIRE TRIANGLE, the way the main engine crank case understands it.

the crank case equates a hot spot to HEAT, the FUEL is already there, and wont allow the third leg of OXYGEN to make up the fire triangle for at least 30 minutes.

-- or if the burner assembly is set back in too much, a circle of incendive heated lifeless plastic refractory provides the HEAT leg ). unburnt explosive gases is already there-- and as soon as FD fan gives the purge -- BOOOOM!

-- or even CO for when CO % decreases excess air increases.
when i was a young chief officer i used to measure CO of uptake
as we had O2 content problem in IG , and could NOT do COW
-- all thought i was crazy.

3)whirling air / steam atomisers help ( XXX has only diffuser plates ).

4)a longer post purge -- on most ships it is less than 50 seconds with

7 hour river passage MUST be done by burning < 1.0 % sulphur
HO in ME.

it is ridiculous to have a law which states boiler / AE MUST
be run with < 0.1% sulphur during the river passage, during
this time , in a STEP MOTHERLY manner .

-- with funnel giving both high and low sulphur emissions from

selective ME/ AE/ BOILER orifices.

commonsense conclusion: this means < 0.1% sulphur rule is
applicable when ME is off with FWE given ( after tying up )
as the applicable time for < 0.1% sulphur rules to begin applying.

so as soon as FWE to ME is given alongside berth , change over
must be done to both boiler and AE. this means ME will no
longer be used unless it is for departure port .

points to ponder:

AAA )-- after many days of VERY stormy weather with heavy
sea spray -- it must be understood that AE funnel stacks
can take in salt-- ( there are drains for air intake and TC ). it
is a good idea to give a short run to the idle engines before
reaching port.

BBB ) -- all AE manufacturing experts are "experts" only on
TEST BED-- not on the field, where the situations are fluid.
their operational circulars have limited use to experiences
seafarers-- for-- when there is an accident at sea , truth is the
first casuality, due to instinct of self preservation.

CCC ) -- i have seen AE engines getting temporarily starved
of fuel , while changing fuel grades -- and after a blackout
incident the blame being placed on GCU/ SAU/ overspeed etc.

personal errors are made in fuel valve handling --

imagine a change over scenario from GO to HO --( a reverse
scenario , as an mere example )--

the ignorant engineer will open HO inlet first when the GO
outlet valve (at AP) is still open--

this causes the HO line pressure to drop abruptly from say
6 bars to 1.5 bars--

this produces bubbles-- vapour locks --

now what is a blessed vapor lock ? -- rapid compression
and re- expansion of bubbles by plunger/ barrel causes the
fuel pump suction valve to be held shut by an unseen hand!

when the engine is starved of liquid fuel the result is a BLACK OUT .

truth now becomes the first casuality -- and ridiculous post mortem
circulars are penned , putting all in fog --

AAA ) i will tell chief engineer to make a fresh JRA for LSGO
change over, after recognising our machinery short falls .

The danger zone is mainly DURING change over-- due to the
existing 4 stroke timing on fcol . once the change over is
affected-- there is little danger of tripping despite poor
atomisation. (HO is fed into the AE engine by HP booster
pump, while GO is by almost gravity, with a small pump.)

like a stabilised boiler will run -- the boiler furnace explosion zone

is while relighting.

BBB ) during synchronising, the incoming generator should be
running slightly "fast" compared to the busbar frequency , to
ensure that the incomer picks up as a generator NOT motor.

the correct time to synchronise is when the synchroscope
reaches the 11 o clock position. This to allow for circuit
breaker operating time. only then the phase angle difference
between the incomer e.m.f. and the busbar voltage will be
a perfect ZERO --same voltage --same phase rotation--
same speed expressed as frequency

When a generator engine in parallel is getting starved of fuel and

alternator frequency is surely dropping on "one way lane" ( NOT
two way lane ) the RPT is what we want to prevent motorising
and severe damage.

other other subtle stabilisation/ protection devices like AVR
for sudden load fluctuations by varying excitation field strength ,
UFRO for underfrequency , governor ( mech for speed/
electrical for freq )-- do their own jobs.

AVR on the alternator output and governor does a great job
PRIOR synchronising and paralleling .

once one of the paralleled generator loses its prime mover
-- the RPT takes over-- 100% .

CONSIDER TIMING OF 4 STROKE ON FCOL AS A 3D ANIMATION
IN YOUR MANN MANDIR :

STROKE 1 downwards INTAKE :--

FUEL is injected a 7.5 deg before TDC and and
continues to maybe 40 deg after TDC-- depending on
ignition lag. ( very little for a low flash point automative
fuel clandestinely palmed off to ship as marine diesel fuel )

FRESH AIR is taken in from turbocharger an early 68 deg
before TDC and closes a late 50 deg after passing BDC.

( Exhaust valve of 4th upward stroke remains open
till 58 deg after TDC during fuel injection to displace
air for the incoming air + fuel .)

STROKE 2 upwards COMPRESSION :--

All valves are shut from 130 deg before TDC to allow
compression.

STROKE 3 downwards EXPLOSION:--

All valves are shut till 112 deg after TDC- then exhaust valve
opens to prevent loss of power due to back pressure .

STROKE 4 upwards EXHAUST :--

Exhaust valve opens an early 68 deg before BDC and shuts 58
deg after TDC- as a long arc for cooling too.

REMARKS: ( may sound like pure baloney to the un-initiated! )

If the fuel INTERFACE is is of very low vapourised flash
point and very high cetane number , with NIL ignition lag ,
then it will PRE-ignite in a uncontrolled manner on stroke 1
due to residual heat ---- (instead of stroke 3 due to compression
heat ) when the exhaust valve is open thus losing a large
percentage of power. Our injection at 7.5 deg before TDC

however is sufficiently late ( usually it is 16 ).

The upward compression stroke NO 2 will have excessive load
on conrods . The heat of compression will be excessive.
Explosion will take place before TDC, with slowing effect
on crankshaft.

Stroke no 3 downwards will be exploding with effective less
volume air ( which is hot ) with shorter ignition lag thus
losing power. Volumetric efficiency will be around 50 %
instead of 85%. Combustion heat converted to useful work
will be only about 20%-- instead of the usual 33% .
Crankcase deposits will increase. Carbon monoxide will be
formed in the exhaust gases.

Exhaust temperatures will increase. Crankshaft turning will
be un-uniform due to knocking . Main journal caps will
take a beating on the 4th upward exhaust stroke. it
wont be a constant pressure cycle.

NIL SULPHUR MEANS -- NIL LUBRICATION FOR PLUNGERS AND
BARRELS-- WITH NO LUB ADDITIVE TO COMPENSATE. VERY LOW
VISC MEANS LEAKAGE PAST PLUNGER AND BARREL WITH LESS
INJECTION PRESSURE.

Subject: XXX/ Fw: Handling Low Sulphur Fuels--2

dear XXXX,

now let me talk about sulphur.

worn out plungers and barrels with excessive clearance will
never seize. wax liquid lubricants are OK for such useless
large clearance types.

SULPHUR REACTS WITH UNSATURATED ACIDS TO FORM
EXCELLENT LUBRICANTS.

over the years sulphur in fuel has prevented new plungers
and barrels with negligible clearance from seizing. gas
( fluid film ) lubricant is compressible and of low viscosity ,
with NIL deposits left over.

bunkers are rated by viscosity index. the lesser the viscosity is

changed by temperature, the higher the VI.

solid marine lubricant molybedenum di sulphide scores
over graphite , though it has the same inert quality and
thermal stability. for graphite without water is abrasive.

CHECK OUT THE ATTACHMENT:

no prizes for guessing what happened to the plunger
and barrel-- immediately after changing over to low
sulphur fuel bunkered at Brazil , from high sulphur fuel.

such things keep happening world wide. but them ,
when we have mediocre people writing IMO circulars,
SOLAS and MARPOL -- what do you expect?

dear XXXX,

IMPORTANCE OF ATOMISATION:--

The cetane number, which defines the ignition quality of a
fuel, is ascertained by adjusting a mixture of cetane ( or
hexadecane ) and alpha-methyl-naphthalene ( which gives
very poor engine performance ) until it has the same ignition
quality as the fuel being tested.

The percentage of cetane in this mixture is then the cetane
number of the fuel under test.

Fuel has to search out the oxygen atoms to complete the
combustion process, and since oxygen makes up only
20 percent of the air, each atom of fuel had only one
chance in five of encountering an atom of oxygen.

The result is improper burning of the fuel.

Hence efficient utilization of the air within the cylinder
demands a rotational velocity that causes the entrapped
air to move continuously.

A good diesel fuel starts to burn at several locations
within the cylinder after the fuel is injected. Once the
flame has initiated, any more fuel entering the cylinder
ignites at once.

UH-OH XXX,

WE MUST NOT DISH OUT GOLD MEDALS SO EASILY TO CHIEF
ENGINEERS WHO TRY AND WRITE FANCY REPORTS TO
IMPRESS AFTER A TOTAL BOTCH UP.

THIS IS NOT A PERSONAL ATTACK --

YOU MUST TAKE A DIM VIEW OF A MASTER WHO TRIES TO SHINE
AFTER RUNNING HIS SHIP AGROUND-- AT LEAST DONT GIVE HIM
BHARAT RATNA TO "INSPIRE OTHERS".

AAA) considering XXX policy of overhauling the burner assembly
every one month for muira boilers which run on 380 cst ho-- how
long has Chief Engineer XXX been on board ?-- about half a
year-- how many times has he over hauled this burner assembly?

after self inflicted maladjustments during re-assembly how many
times has he re- ignited the boiler BEFORE this fantastic indident?

BBB) why does the oil at the bottom of the furnace have ripples? is it

just 40 litres , check it out and make your own opinion ? and that too

at 20% flow at start up. how long does it take to accumulate so much

oil?

is this supposed to happen with ACC? considering the picture is taken

after ho cooling , what would be the viscocity? . nobody will be taking

flash photos in a chamber having ho vapours--which are as explosive
as gasolene vapour ( self ingition temp of ho is almost same )

CCC) can such a centre rod abutting problem happen overnight? why

dont you ask Miura?

are there safety systems in place to initiate trips. are there no

continious control of ho temp/ pressure parameters. can so much oil

accumulate with a running ACC--ask Miura.

or was the boiler on manual ?

DDD) could the "local seizures" be smelling of vanadium / sodium?

EEE) is there a lag between air and ho ( load determined leading
versus following ) to minimise emission of smoke?

FFF) is there an accepted and TIME HONOURED way to verify if
boiler ACC lights up the first burner safely ( fuel is shut off before
this "stop watch test" ) wrt-- a) combustion air damper max posn

b) purge time and number of purges.

for miura the NOT gate works instantly during normal firing -- no
flame, no fuel. the "trail for ignition" allowed by class nkk is
around 5 sec. (Start the stopwatch when the automatic fuel oil
shutoff valves open and stop the stopwatch when the fuel oil
shutoff valves close and you get a flame failure or misfiring
alarm, and note the trail-for- ignition time )

GGG) is there a practise at light up time to check limit switches
(in addition to flow transmitter signal ) of ho control valve
and air damper position?

HHH) is there a procedure to flash a torch on flame sensor
when burner is OFF to verify the auto check function
works and alarm triggers?

BUT I MAY RE-CONSIDER , IF HE TELLS ME HOW MUCH KICK BACK PERCENTAGE HE GIVES TO THE MANNING OFFICE WHO PUTS SHIP OFFICERS IN HIS HOTEL.

PAT- THE ANSWER WILL COME-- 40 %

THIS MEANS IN A HOTEL ROOM COSTING 5000 BUCKS A DAY 2000 BUCKS GOES TO THE POCKET OF OWNER/ MANAGER OF THE MANNING OFFICE.

I HAVE SHAKEN DOWN SHIPPING ACCOUNTANTS IN FOREIGN NATIONS . NOBODY LIKES JAIL

I HAVE COME TO KNOW OF SLIMY SHIP MAMANGEMENT INDIAN COMPANIES WHO PAY AN OFFICER 6000 DOLLARS A MONTH-- BUT THEY FORGE THE WHOLE SIGNED SHEET AGAIN ( ENTIRE CREW ) IN THE OFFICE , AND CHARGE THE JAPANESE SHIP OWNER 30% EXTRA.

THAT MEANS IF THE ACTUAL WAGES GIVEN ARE 2 LAKHS DOLLARS PER MONTH 60,000 DOLLARS ARE SKIMMED OFF BY THE INDIAN SHIPMANAGEMENT COMPANY--WITHOUT THE CREW OR THE JAP SHIPOWNER KNOWING.

OFFICERS AND CREW ARE MADE TO PAY FOR THE "FLAG DOCUMENTATION" SAY--PANAMA/ MONROVIA ETC SAY 800 DOLLARS-- BUT THEY COLLECT THIS MONEY FROM THE JAP OWNERS TOO--

SOMETIMES MY READERS WONDER HOW I GET SO MUCH OF UNKNOWN INFORMATION..

A CHUNK OF IT CAME BY "SHAKING DOWN " PEOPLE.

MAKE SOMEONE FEEL THAT IF HE DOES NOT CONFESS- HE WILL GO TO JAIL-- AND I HAVE THE POWER TO DO IT.

THIS IS WHO I CAME TO KNOW SECRETS OF "INDIAN SHIP MANAGEMENT COMPANIES "

EXAMPLE?

ONCE I WAS PUT IN A HOTEL ROOM WITH SAME SEROUS DEFICIENCIES --SAY THE ROOM DID NOT HAVE A WINDOW

I WOULD CALL FOR THE TOP MANAGER AND SHAKE HIM DOWN.

BUT HEY--

BUT I MAY RE-CONSIDER , IF HE TELLS ME HOW MUCH KICK BACK PERCENTAGE HE GIVES TO THE MANNING OFFICE WHO PUTS SHIP OFFICERS IN HIS HOTEL.

MIKUL DESHWALJanuary 5, 2017 at 6:36 AMGood days sir,As mentioned in one of your blog heating of all cargo to be done by hot water not by steam kindly explain. How to do that as my ship's chief engineer said it's not possible he can only deliver steam and heating to be controlled by inlet valve only.Brgs MIKUL Deshwal

-- or if the burner assembly is set back in too much, a circle of incendive heated lifeless plastic refractory provides the HEAT leg ). unburnt explosive gases is already there-- and as soon as FD fan gives the purge -- BOOOOM!

WHEN THE HIGH TEMP ALARM COMES FOR THE MAIN ENGINE CRANKCASE--THE HOT SPOT IS ALLOWED TO COOK--

THE ENGINE ROOM IS ABANDONED FOR 30 MINUTES

I WAS ASKED AS A DECK BOY TO LAY DOWN ENGINE ROOM SAFETY PROCEDURES .. I AM NOT AN ENGINEER..

MORE THAN 20 ENGINEER SUPERINTENDENTS OF THE SHORE OFFICE SULKED FOR MONTHS

WHAT IS BELOW IS NOT FOUND IN BOOKS ---IT COMES FROM THE FERTILE BRAINS OF A BAD BOY HARDCORE CAPTAIN NAMED VADAKAYIL
